(This game is great btw) *2026-08-13, version 4.31.06* Since fooville legends went away well. It has been pretty boring oh yes idk how to do email lol and again kid coded Odin swimlink OUT! ### 4/5 — I need more planets! *2026-08-06, version 4.31.06* Hey codeSpark Odin swimlink here one thing in story mode i do not have enough planets! Can you add the solar system planets? Pretty please? Odin out! ### 4/5 — I love this game!! But… *2026-07-19, version 4.31.06* I love this game and all, its very fun but there are a few things I would like to change… First of all, I don’t really like this “3-10” thing because I’m 12 and still love playing codespark so maybe change to “3+” or something. Also, please add stuff like wheelchairs, crutches, etc to make this game more exclusive. And make it that my characters can have pants, because I don’t want them to be mooning everybody when their just wearing a shirt. So overall this game is fun and all but some things need to be fixed ### 2/5 — LOVE THIS 🖤 *2026-07-12, version 4.31.06* You should get this it is amazing! 🤩 I play it everyday making games then seeing if anyone saw my game and it makes me sooo happy when I see someone did! It’s one of my favourite games and I would NEVER delete it! Completely safe for kids! Also I get why you don’t allow kids to share story’s without permission but do my parents HAVE TO FILL OUT A SURVEY can you please make it a little less work! That would be great! But you should definitely download this app! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ### 4/5 — It is a fun game *2026-07-12, version 4.31.06* I like this app, but there’s a lack of free games. It is not as good as kodable but it is cute I guess… ### 2/5 — What didn’t get free? *2026-07-07, version 4.31.06* Make it free ### 2/5 — fix the reward codes because I need to do my reward code like throwback I really need my stuff *2026-07-04, version 4.31.06* I don't want this game anymore I'm gonna delete it.... ### 3/5 — A little not costumer friendly *2026-06-30, version 4.31.06* As a homeschool teacher I have zero time to navigate confusing websites especially with a class of first graders. I have heard such great things but I didn’t know it would be this hard to sign in. ### 2/5 — Noooo😭 *2026-06-28, version 4.31.06* Please turn this app free. I used to use this app since two years later backwards and I’m just seven years old. It was the best game in my life since I was six and five. I planned this with my cousin. This was the best game so please turn this app free my parents will no longer pay with it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not free + bad *2026-08-24, version 4.31.06* Subscription required, for THIS? As a cybersecurity professional, I tested it out to see if it would be good to teach my nephew… Resounding no, it doesn’t teach children ANYTHING about coding! Not even fake coding, which would be fine if it wasn’t so expensive and exploitative! Run away from this app, asap! ### 1/5 — … *2026-08-16, version 4.31.06* I have to pay ### 1/5 — This app STINKS *2026-08-02, version 4.31.06* I learned nothing from this and CODE MONKEY TAUGHT ME HOW TO ACTUALLY CODE AND NOT THE GARBAGE IN THIS “GAME” ### 1/5 — The infinite loading are stupid« please fix this glitch» *2026-07-24, version 4.31.06* I uploaded page 2 on my Numberblocks story but it had a loading glitch well it's infinite just like when I make my story when it has all the ones in it please fix this I'll give this no stars ### 1/5 — Can’t log in to clever! And can’t share stories! *2026-07-23, version 4.31.06* In codeSpark I can’t log in to clever because my school account is not available until 8/7/26! In my school account I can make stories but I can’t share stories because sharing stories is not available for school accounts ### 1/5 — rFGhoshgCgtnhkdcrj *2026-07-21, version 4.31.06* Bujschnhhftdtgudcrytfcbhgdfcthghf g,fásynd ### 1/5 — Help *2026-07-12, version 4.31.06* There is a glitch ### 1/5 — GREEDY $ GRABBER *2026-07-07, version 4.31.06* Fine, u r not letting me play for free. Though I’ve purchased this, it was EXPENSIVE and the games were UNFUN!!! The multi-player playing was dead. Subscription is required, so ANNOYING. I would rate 0 STARS if possible.Definitely NOT going to recommend or play this game again. It is completely 7-R-4-5-H. ### 1/5 — Not transparent about cost or data *2026-06-27, version 4.31.06* One-star experience. After creating/providing information, the app quickly pushed a subscription that was not clearly disclosed up front. The price appeared to be about $15/month, and I was uncomfortable with how much data it asked for before making the cost clear. It also appeared to direct payment outside the App Store, which is concerning for a kids’ app. I would not recommend it unless the pricing, privacy, and payment flow are made much more transparent. ### 1/5 — Subscription required *2026-06-12, version 4.31.06* It says in app purchases but actually after signing up there is no free play without signing up for a subscription. It really should say subscription required. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app ever!❤️ *2026-08-24, version 4.31.06* (I’m Anya Puppy-a-Lot, aka. APAL) I’m still playing this app even after 4.5 years, so Here’s a story of why I play this app so much. So, in feb 2022, I had amazon kids+ on my kindle, and I saw that my brother was playing a game called ‘codeSpark Starter’ (it was codeSpark but with less features) from amazon kids+. I was interested, so I began playing it too. It was very fun! Eventually, on feb 25th, 2022, I asked my parents to get the full app and they accepted it. And that started my journey with the game. Right now I’m trying to publish some things (like me attacking the robots), and I have plans to make lots of idle games/tycoons (because I think idle games are fun)! Thank you for making this app. ### 5/5 — I love this game I am 10 and still playing *2026-08-24, version 4.31.06* Hi I’m littlegamerbro the creator of countless boss fight in mods even though I’m 10 and codeSpark!The bosses that I make are hard but simple I love making them In codeSpark but it’s a bit hart to do.Every boss starts with health bar but I don’t have that so pls add but I use green gems for the main boss battle and the other ones for the side boss. I also want you guys to pls add more attacks and enemies.If you make a boss or enemy maker than my life will be 100 times easier! ### 5/5 — Cannon *2026-08-23, version 4.31.06* Thorpe ### 5/5 — Das.
